I’m so thankful that I’ve gotten the chance to stay home and love on my little. The pandemic is a mess, no arguments here. But I’m grateful for this little slice of heaven. For a few weeks, time stood still for us.

My maternity leave is ending soon and I’ll have to adapt to this new change for both of us. Thankfully I’ll still be working from home for a bit.

All my work from home mamas, how are y’all handling it? Ya girl is stressed and I still have another week+ of leave. Send help, I’m already feeling separation anxiety. 😭🤣

I have a 4 month old.

This time really does fly. How is this even possible?!

Little bean aka Baby Hulk aka Dion is incredibly curious and observant. His laugh is infectious and his smile 👏🏾MELTS 👏🏾 HEARTS. So far, none of his toys interest him. He’d much rather play with mommy and daddy. Bath time is his favorite time. He loves FaceTiming his grandparents and listening to them talk to him. Every day is a new adventure.

P.S. picture 2 is a reminder/virtual form of contraception for all y’all in my inbox talking about his chubby cheeks has your ovaries on fire. 🤣😭

There are times when he’s extremely fussy and ju

There are times when he’s extremely fussy and just wants to be held all day. Knowing that you are someone’s safe space can be both exhilarating and exhausting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is why I love my @SollyBaby wraps. They allow me to keep my little bean close so that I can comfort him when he needs extra snuggles but also gives me the freedom to get things done when I need to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are plenty of studies and articles explaining the many benefits of babywearing and honestly, with reasons like, it helps to calm him and can help with enhancing his development, I’m all for wearing my little.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The fabric is quality. It’s super light and stretchy so we’re both comfortable. It also washes well which is a major key with an infant.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been using my Solly baby wraps since he was a newborn and I would highly recommend for any new parents.

I want to have a quick chat about something I’ve been struggling with for years.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Creating content has always been something that I enjoy, mainly because I LOVE storytelling. My blog, YouTube channel and socials allow me to share stories across multiple platforms using many mediums. The only problem? A lack of consistency. Being a new mama doesn’t help this dilemma at all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the blog, I’m sharing my thoughts on Imposter syndrome as well as some actionable steps about how I’m going to create content moving forward.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For someone who writes a lot of poetry centered around stepping into your light and reminding yourself that the sun never need permission or time, to shine, it’s crazy that I’m unable to register the message in my own work.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hopefully this is also the push/reminder that YOU need that NOW has always been the best time to shine….#LinkInBio
